A once in a lifetime occurrence, <br />Your fortieth birthday is here, <br />Unlike most misfortunes, recurrance <br />Is doubtful (hope that brings you cheer!) <br /> <br />So bolster yourself for the ribbing, <br />And take a deep breath for my sake, <br />Keep your chin up and stop fibbing- <br />And blow out that blaze on your cake!<br /><br />Cari Haus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/40th-birthday-poem/
